Chile and California are two of the few Mediterranean areas in the world that produce exceptional products such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, wine, among others. The Mediterranean areas are at risk due to climate change. Global warming and the decrease in rainfall will reduce its capacity to produce products whose demand is increasing worldwide. Several studies suggest that the agriculture industry has an important responsibility in the emission of greenhouse gases, and that the recovery of soils suitable for absorbing CO2 is imminent to reverse trends.

Under these climate change scenarios, new challenges arise in the management of agriculture in all its dimensions, and the concept of regenerative agriculture appears. Chile and California share the same context, which leads to the need to establish exchanges of experiences and collaboration for the future.
